Do you enjoy real time chat? Feel free to join us on IRC: irc.oftc.net #redditprivacy (SSL port: 6697). The network supports Tor for connections. Many people idle on IRC but are away, please be patient if you are not answered immediately!

Before you use the "I have nothing to hide" argument please read this paper--all of it. If you can't find the time, then this article should at least get you thinking about why privacy matters.

Subreddit Rules (updated2017-08-06)

If you find privacy related software, services or subreddits you think are great please run them by the mods before you post them. Close source software is not permitted

If you're a developer or employee of a company that makes non-commercial privacy related software or services you can post links/comments about it if it is open source and you have discussed conditions with the mods in advance. But, you also must clearly identify yourself and stick around to answer questions people have regarding your product/service. Remember we're a community, not a place to advertise. Your site must be available over https only.

The promotion of closed source privacy software is not welcome in /r/privacy. By its nature you can not verify easily that it does what it claims and as a result this puts your privacy and security at risk

Refrain from repeatedly pushing traffic to personal or other sites, especially if commercial in nature.

Be nice and have some fun. Please don't jump on people for making a mistake or holding a different view. Reclaiming the privacy high ground requires changing minds and you can't do that if you scare people away.

Sexism will not be tolerated. Nor will Racism, LGBTQ-phobic comments or similar hate speech.

Don't suggest violence or destruction as a means to an end

Before posting check that a discussion has not already been started. Use the search and check new submissions.
